Suriya has a special connect with Malayalis

It was a moment to celebrate for Suriya fans in Kerala when the actor came to Kochi for the promotion of his next film.

Stating his special connect with Malayalis, the actor recalled an incident in Muscat when a Malayali family came to his help. "I was in Muscat and was waiting for a friend at the airport. When I was waiting, I thought I might as well find on my own the hotel where I was to stay, ventured out and eventually, got lost. A Malayali family, who was on the opposite side of the road recognized me, took a detour and helped me find the hotel," he recalled.

Fans were in for a bigger treat when the actor suggested he has been approached for a Malayalam film. "But many more things have to fall in place before we start the film," he said.
